BIOS-Related Errors

When BIOS detects an error during system startup or during POST (Power-On-Self-
Test), the display monitor normally shows the message that tells the cause of the
problem and also suggests on how to solve it. These kinds of error messages will
ask you to run Setup and correct the settings in that program according to actual
configuration.
The following information lists some of the common configuration-related errors
and gives the corresponding procedures to solve them.
Error Message: CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
Cause: The CMOS battery is no longer functional.
Action: Replace it.
WARNING: There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
installed. For your safety, never attempt to recharge,
disassemble, or burn the old battery. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
The battery in this PC is a lithium battery that does not contain
heavy metals. Nevertheless, in order to protect the environment,
do not dispose of batteries in household waste. Please return
used batteries to the shop from which you bought them, to the
dealer from whom you purchased your PC, or to HP so they can
either be recycled or disposed of in a sound way. Returned used
batteries will be accepted free of charge.
Error Message: CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Cause: BIOS checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This may be caused by a weak battery.
Action: Check the battery and replace it, if necessary.
Error Message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS
ENTER

Action: Insert a system disk into Drive A and press <Enter> key. If you boot from the
hard disk, make sure that the controller is installed properly and all cables are
correctly attached.
